Thomas Walker High School - Ewing, VA

 

Thomas Walker High School will be raising Brook trout for the 2010-2011 school year.

 

Brown Trout were originally planned this year because the rough winter and summer of the previous year cause a delay in the spawning of the brook trout.  Therefore, eggs where not available when the program kicked off. However due to some bad luck the brown  trout did not survive and the Marion Hatchery provided a replacement supply of brook trout.

 

The trout were released on May 12^th and successfully returned to the wild in Hardy Creek.  Again we had a release that was a little different than previous releases.  Only 9 students participated in the release and activities.
